Miles Davis at his 1950s best: The Best of Miles Davis gathers classic Prestige recordings, including "'Round Midnight," "Oleo," "My Funny Valentine" and "Four."
Miles Davis's Prestige years produced some of the finest small-group jazz ever recorded, and this collection is a perfect way into that golden era.
In the mid-1950s Davis honed his cool, lyrical sound and assembled his first great quintet with John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones, recording a legendary series of albums for Prestige.
These sides showcase his muted trumpet and gift for ballads and swinging tunes: a hushed "'Round Midnight" and "My Funny Valentine," plus Sonny Rollins's "Oleo" and "Airegin" and the bright "Four."
A best of that lives up to the name.
